January 16, 2017

PICKERINGTON, Ohio – The 2017 AMA Vintage Dirt Track National Championship series will feature 12 rounds of competition and four weekends of two-day, back to back racing, sanctioned by the American Motorcyclist Association.

Starting in March, the national championship series will travel to six different states throughout the Midwest and along the East Coast of the United States. The series will make its way to eight premier tracks, while also boasting eight days of short track racing with four days on half mile courses.

“I am incredibly excited to get this season underway,” said AMA Track Racing Manager Ken Saillant. “The 2017 season of Vintage Dirt Track racing looks to be one of the best we’ve ever had and will include many of the great tracks that Vintage Dirt Track racing is familiar with.”

This year’s line-up features many notable stops, such as Volusia County Speedway in Baberville, Fla., and the Illinois State Fair Grounds in Springfield, Ill. The series also will return to many other favorite spots, such as the Oglethorp Speedway in Savannah, Ga., and the Marion County Fairgrounds in the racing capital of the world, Indianapolis.
